Gen.Ukrainian is a non-governmental organisation that studies childhood during the war, creates innovative psychological rehabilitation programs for children and adolescents who have had a traumatic experience as a result of the war: lost parents, survived captivity, forced deportation and occupation.
We organise psychological intensives, conduct active scientific work and promote structural changes in the state system of education and health care so that no child is left behind.
Our mission is to do everything possible so that the war does not rob our children of their childhood and does not become a burden for their future.
Our children live their only childhood against the background of the tragic events of the war.
At the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Ukraine was unprepared for such an unprecedented level of psychological trauma. We faced challenges that no one could have predicted. Without a ready-made algorithm of actions, we are forced to learn to be resilient every day.
Instead of ignoring these problems, we must confront them head on. Understanding the consequences of psychological trauma, we can work on a global solution — not only for Ukraine, but for the entire world.
This is a unique collection of children's, yet not-at-all childish, stories, each captured with great attention to detail and authenticity.
The stories told in it belong to Ukrainian children who experienced the loss of their loved ones due to the war. They are straightforward naive, direct, shy, and most importantly – sincere and direct, as only children can tell. But these are not just sad stories about pain and loss.
Through these stories, one can learn to see the grief of loss not as an end, but as part of a larger journey to self-discovery and resilience.
CRYONES is a completely charitable project. All funds collected from the sale of the art book are directed to the psychological rehabilitation of Ukrainian children.
